GrLYPTOTHEA MOULTONI, n. Sp. 



G. whiteheadi similis. J . Olivaceo-viridis ; capite, cor'pore suhlus 

 femorihusqiie viridi-auratus, tibiis caxfaneo-viridis, tarsis nigro-cyaneis. 

 Clypeu antice scnsim diJatato, apice rotundalo, anguste reflexo, medio paullo 

 emarginato ; elytria paste medium anguste bicostatis, Jaterihus uni-custatis, 

 iiifer.stitiis apiceque sinuato-aciculatis ; pygidio apice leviter hi-noduso. 

 ? . Cyaneo-viridis, clypeo apice leviter rtflexo, pygidio apice obsolete sulcato, 

 tibiis anticis latioribus, acute dentatis. Long., 18 — 21 min. 



Besides the coloration, the male differs from this sex of G. whiteheadi, 

 Bates, in having the clypevis more dilated, its apex much more narrowly re- 

 flexed and distinctly emarginate, the prothorax broader in front, the discal 

 carinse of the elytra narrower, and the aciculate sculpture of the interstices, 

 sides and apex of a more vermiculate form, and the pygidium more coarsely 

 strigose, and with two small, closely approximate, nodules at its apex. In the 

 female the sculpture of the elytra is very much coarser and consists of elongate 

 impressions, uniting and forming chain-like rows. 



Mt. Penrissen, Sarawak, 4200^500 ft. 



I am indebted to Mr. R. Slielford and Mr. J. C. Moulton for 

 specimens of both sexes of this interesting species ; it is also in the 

 collection of the Sarawak Museum. 



Glyptothea bxcavata, n. sp. 



(J. Olivaceo-viridis, prothorace elytrisque lateribusjlavesceutibus, capite, 

 corpore subtus pygidioque aureo-viridis, antennis, tibiis et tarsis rufo-piceis, 

 cyaneo-tinctis. Capite dense punctata, clypeo margine antico reflexs, paulo 

 sinuato ; elytris obsolete costatis, postice spatio juxta suturam grosse et pro- 

 funde hiseriatim punctatis. Long., 18 mm. 



Broader and of a more ovate form than G. whiteheadi, the head much more 

 closely ptmctured, the clypeus narrower, rounded and more narrowly reflexed 

 at its apex, the prothorax shorter, broader, more finely and closely punctured, 

 less angulated at the sides, and feebly margined to the apical angles ; the 

 elytra more broadly sulcate at the suture and very feebly bi-costate behind, 

 the sutural depression with three irregular rows of punctures, which become 

 smaller and obsolete towards the base, but miich larger, and assiuning the form 

 of a double series of very large transverse aciculated pits, as they approach the 

 apex ; the sides are punctured, rugose, and with a feeble submarginal carina ; 

 the pygidium convex, coarsely strigose, and with a very slight impression at 

 the apex ; the underside sparsely pubescent ; the metasternum closely punctured 

 at the sides ; the mesosternal process short, broad, and rounded at its apex. 



Mt. Kina-balu. A single female example from the van de Poll 

 collection.
